EVE New Citizens Q&A

Touched a nerve obviously

I said what I did because in my experience* its true.

The alts have long since forgotten what its like to only have one character; the wierdos who have only one character in starter corp for years have no idea what they're talking about when it comes to corps/lowsec/nullsec/life in general.

YMMV of course.

*4+ months in starter corp; then 7 or 8 alts spending between 1-10 months in various starter corps.

Edit - you do realise I'm on about blocking/ignoring them in-game mmm?

Flying solo, it takes longer, because you've got to put together a full slate of skills, and find a ship that will be good enough at a bunch of them to work, and that does take time.

Two noobs in more specialized ships can make life hell for one more experienced person, though. If one's flying a Condor with a long point, and the other's flying a Merlin with a scram and blasters, that can be a challenge even for a veteran. (Assuming the veteran's not backed up by multiple boosters, like a Loki/Legion combo parked off behind a POS forcefield, of course).

Also mate, remember that Skill training in Eve loosely follows the 80/20 rule. On your 106 day plan you can be flying that t1 logi cruiser at 80% efficiency in around 21 days, the final 20% of skill boosts taking around 85 days.

There are very few skills you need to 5 to have fun.

I thought the same thing........ You may have no interest in it but it will find you. You may wanna re look into PVP as it is highly sought in PVP and not so much PVE.

I will just add... The few times I was in a npc corp for a day or 2 I have seen the kind of advice people who are in NPC and stay in NPC corps give. I would as a general rule ignore everything they say.... EVER.

If your planning on specializing in a single ship normally you would have a goal your trying to achieve by doing so. However that goal would be alot clearer from when you understand the role you might be play in the corp.

If not, have fun don't let others dictate your career choice. As other have mentioned EVE follows the 80/20 rule. Fly some ships do some missions, join a corp find out what makes the game exciting for you and then focus your training to make what you found work better for you.

Just to make things easier. This is how I approached it.

I knew I wanted to PVP. That is all I cared about since my first kill.

I did not want to hamstring myself by a single race so I trained the following path.

All Races Frigates/Support/Weapons to lvl5. AFter that I started with all races Cruisers/support/weapons to lvl5 and so on. Only recently did I start focusing on Battleships.

That Idea might seem boring to some people that want to get in a battleship asap but that is the path I chose. I had fun all the way through. In November I would be going on doing what I started 3 years ago and not a day goes by were I regret it.

If you have any questions your more than welcome to ask my ingame. I will be next to useless on indy/pve questions though since I have not even finished my tutorial missions yet.
